Names mentioned in this chapter :

-苏芮 (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist

-苏小芮(sù xiǎo ruì)- Su Xiao Rui, which translates to Su little Rui.

-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead

-顾安安(gù ān’ān)- Gu An An, Gu Yan Rui’s nickname.

-唐笑(táng xiào) – Tang Xiao, Su Rui’s friend and daughter of the chairman of Tang Jing Group

-王洲(wáng zhōu) – Wang Zhou, Gu Yu Cheng’s assistant

The two of them cleared up their breakfast plates and Gu Yu Cheng was preparing to leave.

Su Rui took out a set of clothes from the dressing room and brought them to Gu Yu Cheng. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she asked, “Why don’t you wear this suit and tie today?”

After getting married, Su Rui would from time to time pay attention to Gu Yu Cheng’s attire.

However, after the birth of the miniature version of Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui’s interest in styling clothes was mostly directed towards Gu An An.

It had been a long time since Gu Yu Cheng enjoyed this kind of treatment.

There was also that tie, which he hadn’t seen before.

Gu Yu Cheng’s gaze fell on the striped tie. His eyes lit up as he looked at Su Rui and asked, “Is this newly bought?”

Su Rui replied with a smile, “It’s an anniversary gift. I am giving this to you in advance.”

Noticing the excitement in someone’s expression, Su Rui decided that it was better not to tell this person the other reason.

In fact, Su Rui had not thought of buying Gu Yu Cheng a tie at first.

It was just that when she took Gu An An to the mall a few days ago, she saw a cute and handsome baby suit and Su Rui felt it was somewhat familiar. His father seemed to have an outfit similar to this.

Then Su Rui bought it for Gu An An.

At the same time, it came with a little striped bow tie.

Gu Yu Cheng’s tie was actually the same design as his son’s.

“Thank you, wifey.” After changing his clothes and watched the woman tie the tie for him, Gu Yu Cheng hugged Su Rui’s waist, lowered his head and kissed Su Rui’s lip. He said, “I’m leaving now.”

“En. An An, say goodbye to daddy.”

Gu An An didn’t know how to say many words yet, and could only mutter out a few words repeating the words of adults.

He roughly understood what Su Rui meant and lifted his little chubby hand and raised his paws twice towards Gu Yu Cheng.

A babble escaped from his lips, “Papa, bai!”

Seeing this, Gu Yu Cheng smiled and lowered his head again to kiss Su Rui’s face and one of his son’s paws.

“I’m off.”

“Daddy left. Now, it is time for our An An to dress up.”

Only after Gu Yu Cheng left did Su Rui, with an excited look on her face, carried her son and started dressing up.

Su Rui first changed Gu An An into his tiny suit and put on his little bow tie.

Unlike the real adult’s suit, children’s clothes were soft. But the overall look was very similar to the suit Gu Yu Cheng wore today.

After that, Su Rui first parted the bit of his son’s hair into a gentleman-like side parting. When she looked at it, she felt it was not extraordinarily handsome.

Su Rui combed Gu An An’s hair towards the centre again.

Looking at the super handsome son after being styled on the bed, Su Rui couldn’t help but exclaim with stars in her eyes, “Gu Yan Rui, why are you so handsome?!”

Although Gu An An didn’t quite understand what she meant by ‘handsome’, he looked happy and giggled as Su Rui kissed him twice on his cheeks.

While Gu An An was still laughing, Su Rui took out her mobile phone and successfully and consecutively snapped several photos.

After setting up the privacy permission, Su Rui sent these photos to her Moments.

Looking at the various comments that popped up in her Moments,^[1] mainly lavish praises,^[2] Su Rui replied to them all with a smile on her face.

After a while, Tang Xiao directly phoned her.

“Su Xiao Rui, let’s settle on it now.”

“Settle on what?” Su Rui was baffled by Tang Xiao’s sudden statement.

Tang Xiao exclaimed, “To settle on your son’s engagement!” She added, “If I have a daughter in the future, she will be your daughter-in-law, so don’t deny it then.”

Upon hearing these words, the corners of Su Rui’s mouth twitched.

How come she was unaware that this has been decided?

Moreover, there was a sentence, Su Rui could not afford to dampen Tang Xiao’s enthusiasm.

With this kind of relationship between the adults of the two families, they would most likely be so familiar with one another that they wouldn’t have the least bit of romantic love when the children grow up in the future.

Most importantly, do you have children in your family? You’re just settling on it just like that.

Su Rui complained softly to herself.

“What if you have a son in the future?” Su Rui teased her.

She heard Tang Xiao say, “That’s fine. If I have a son, you and Gu Yu Cheng will have a little princess.”

“Yeah, right.” Su Rui had no intention of having another child within five years of Gu An An’s age.

“Besides, in this day and age, arranged marriages are not acceptable.”

……

After casually chatting with Tang Xiao, Su Rui ended the call.

Su Rui putting Gu An An to bed, for the time being, Su Rui freshened and dressed up.

Looking at the time, she carried her handsome son to Gu Company.

Su Rui took the designated lift to Gu Yu Cheng’s office.

Wang Zhou was waiting for Su Rui here because Gu Yu Cheng has instructed him to do so earlier.

“Madam, you’re here,” Wang Zhou said. He took the large bag of things for Gu An An in Su Rui’s hand.

“Thank you.” Su Rui greeted Wang Zhou.

“An An, come and call Uncle Wang.” Su Rui said as she shook her own son’s hand and slowed down her speech.

Upon hearing that, Gu An An fervently prattle to Wang Zhou for a long time, “Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya.”

Whenever there was a word or pronunciation that he didn’t know how to say, this guy would play smart and use “ya” instead.

Looking at Gu An An with this #I’m-seriously-communicating-with-you look, Wang Zhou couldn’t help but smile as well.

“Madam, have you had your lunch yet? If not, I’ll go and arrange it,” Wang Zhou asked as he walked next to Su Rui.

“I did. You don’t have to trouble yourself.”

“Please keep an eye on him for me.”

Su Rui put Gu An An on top of a large cartoon cushion specially prepared for Gu An An, not far from Gu Yu Cheng’s office desk. Then, she went to rummage through the large bag, she brought with her, for Gu An An’s diapers.

Gu An An hated wearing diapers.

Usually, when he has to go number one or two,^[3] the expression on Gu An An’s face would change. Occasionally, he would call out to them.

At this time, Su Rui would swiftly put her own son on top of his little potty.

It wasn’t exactly a hassle, so Su Rui wouldn’t force him to wear it.

However, thinking that Gu An An would be staying with his dad all afternoon today, Su Rui still prepared two pairs for him.

If Gu Yu Cheng was busy, he wouldn’t really have the time to pay attention to the ‘micro expressions’ on Gu An An’s face. Therefore, there is no choice but to trouble this little guy to put up with it for the afternoon.

“Yu Cheng hasn’t finished the meeting yet?” Su Rui asked as she looked around.

The conference room, where the meeting was held today, was somewhat close to Gu Yu Cheng’s chairman’s office. From this side, Su Rui could even faintly hear Gu Yu Cheng’s voice on the other side.

One could not discern Gu Yu Cheng’s emotions from his voice.

However, after living together for so long, how could Su Rui not hear the anger in his voice?

Su Rui looked at Wang Zhou and asked, “Is something wrong?”

Wang Zhou said, “It’s the project in Shang Hua. Due to some blunders, the original opening date has been delayed.” He quickly added, “Madam, don’t worry. The impact is not significant. ”

The loss of the delayed opening of the project was nothing to Gu Company.

The reason why the chairman was angry was mainly that this was indeed somewhat a low-level blunder.

As the two spoke, Su Rui turned her head, only to find that the fence around the soft cushion had opened a crack. Her son had already climbed from his designated soft cushion to somewhere else.

The author has something to say:
